cmd.exe Window
I am using Windows 7 Home Edition SP1, 64-bit.
Every time that I boot up Windows, a cmd.exe window automatically opens up for just a few seconds and then disappears. I would like to know what causes that... These is no cmd.exe in c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wind ows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, so if anyone knows how to track down what launches this cmd.exe window I'd be curious to know too. |

Look in C:\Windows\winsxs\ for folder(s) containing commandprompt in the folder name to locate cmd.exe Some apps load a resident portion using cmd.exe |

Try running Autoruns to see what's opening at start up. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...rnals/bb963902 To make the display a bit easier to read set the 'Hide Windows Entries' under options and rescan. |

If it was just cmd.exe then it would stay open without automatically closing. it is being opened by some other startup function and closing automatically when done. you listed the path to a user StartUp folder. There is also the common (all users) StartUp folder as well as 2 locations in the registry, HKLM for all users and HKCU for the current user where an item can auto launch from. |

It's a startup program that opens the window, executes command(s), then closes when complete. Someone mentioned Autoruns, that is good. See also Winpatrol, it has many tweaks for Windows and makes it dead-stupid easy to spot and disable or remove startup programs. If you let it run when Windows starts it will monitor the system for any *new* items that an installer added and gives you an option to *not* auto-run it. It catches stuff for me all the time that I don't want to run when Windows boots, and the software author gave no option in the setup program for me to choose that or not. http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html |

CMD window pops up for anything that won't run under a GUI window. Things like some applications, scripts, batch files, etc. And the default is to close the CMD window once whenever is running is done. Also the Startup folder doesn't show all startups. As there are also places in the Windows registry which will run things at bootup too. So you are not seeing everything from the Startup folder alone. Also you won't likely find CMD.EXE in any of these places. As Windows knows by the file extension that CMD.EXE needs to be loaded to run whatever that is. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 702G8 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows XP SP2 |

I have an ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series card on my system and at startup the cmd.exe box "which is called from the accelerated video" appears: HKLM:Run AMD AVT Microsoft Corporation Cmd.exe /c start "AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding device initialization" /min "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD AVT\bin\kdbsync.exe" aml That's why I asked if the OP has an AMD/ATI card, if yes that's probably what the OP is seeing. -- Leala. |

Other possibilities..
If it didn't occur in the past and only started to appear recently it could also be an incomplete Windows update installation (e.g. .NET update) -- ....winston msft mvp mail "BillW50" wrote in message ...
